    Maybe it’s the matter of vinyl consumers being a larger group than floppy disk consumers?

    I enjoy going to music concerts, and in the case of smaller scenes/bands i always buy a vinyl (and most of times a t-shirt) to support the band directly. I don’t even have a vinyl player at the moment - long story - but I have a collection of 300+ records.

    If I recall correctly it is also very cheap to produce in terms of tools and machines needed, the pipeline being all analogue and mechanical?

    I am also a retrocomputer nerd, but I guess the number of indie game developers that target floppy disks as the distribution medium for their next game are fewer by number compared to the musicians distributing on vinyl?
